Before there was demure, there was Coco & Clair Clair. A palpable maturation since 2022’s Sexy, the Atlanta-based artists find their stride and cement their sophisticated bedroom pop sound in Girl.
Chic and expensive, Coco & Clair Clair are unshakably confident in a way that’s almost intimidating. They’d never dare to break a sweat, soft in exertion yet powerful in presence. Less is most certainly more, and by the final ninth track “Aggy,” you’re perfectly satiated yet desperate for more.
“Martini” serves a hazy trap-adjacent intro while “Our House” is a garage pop ballad that explodes in sound. From the hyperpop of “Gorgeous International Really Lucky” to the soft rock of “Everyone But You,” Coco & Clair Clair’s versatility is on full display in this sophomore project, drooling over boys who don’t deserve it and declaring their superiority to the girls who dare doubt them.
Every bar on this album is a quotable, as being lyrically boisterous and abrasively sexy is Coco & Clair Clair’s artistic superpower. “Bitches Pt. 2” showcases the duo at their most primal, a Myspace-coded bark that throughlines their debut work to Girl, reenlisting Marjorie -W.C. Sinclair for support.
From using art from the bratty early 2000s book series The Clique to name-dropping designer, their music is for the girls who use beauty as a currency and understand the value of living in decadence. With their US tour set for kick off late September, Coco & Clair Clair only continue to prove they're destined for stardom.
